Water Towers

2/24/2012

Fun story - one of my ancestors was designer/architect Gustav Halmhuber, who designed the Wasserturm in Mannheim, Germany - a water tower built in 1886-89.  The water tower survived both world wars, and still stands today at 60 m high.  One of my relatives gave me a picture of it last year, and here it hangs just outside my office:

Pardon my enormous glare - the picture is right by a window!
It might be just us, but we have a thing for water towers here at B&M.  Check out another large picture that hangs in our front office:

Do you see your tower?
This one is fun to have because we get to see a lot of familiar sites and we work in many of the places.

Water towers serve an essential function in many of our communities, and we all work hard to ensure that the towers work efficiently and trouble-free.  You can see how we can help you here.  In some communities, however, water towers provide an outlet for a communities creativity.  Just search for "crazy water towers" some time to get a taste.
Do you have a favorite water tower?  Share it below!

My mother is a Halmhuber and a relative of Gustav. The whole family is headed for Germany this summer to see some of his works
